PETER AURICH, OF BOCHU'M, GERMANY, ASSIGNOR TO THE FIRM GEBB'. EIGKHOFF,

MASGHINENFAIBRIK, F BOCHUM, GERMANY 1 convnxme nnvrcit application filed October 15, 1927, Serial No. 226,482, and nt Germanyl'uly 2'7, 192?.

The invention-relates to conveying devices intended to convey'loose goods, such as coal or rocks in mines and the like, and consists substantially of a shaking conveyer and a means by which it is com leted in such a *manner, that the supply 0 the'material to be conveyed by .it is considerably facilitated.

; This is obtained'according to the invention by one or more ramps being arranged laterally of the shaking conveyer, which ramps allow of the material to be conveyed to glide onto the conveyer without any lifting power being required to this end. The saving of power obtained in this way may be further increased by imparting to the said ramp or ramps likewise a shaking motion, this motion being produced either by providing a special driving appliance for the ramp or by connecting the latter to the shaking conveyer in such a manner, that the ramp takes part in the reciprocating motion of the conveyer.

In order to allow of the invention to be more easily understood, some preferred embodiments of same are illustrated in the drawings which accompany and form part of this specification.

In these drawings: 1 v 1 Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the first embodiment of the conveying device,

Fig. 2 is ,asimilar view of he second embodiment,

Figs. 2 and 3 show a conveyer r and a ramp a which in this case has its own running bracketsc enabling it to execute a to and fro motion, and its own driving device I) to produce said motion. Advantageously a -motion is imparted to the ramp a from the driving device 6, which is directed obliquely I Fig. 3 is a top view of the device shown in' Fig. 2,

toward the shaking conveyer 1', thi s being efiected in the simplest manner by'arranging the brackets c in a correspondingly I oblique direction. y In the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 4

and 5 the ramp a has no brackets, but isconnected with the conveyer r'or may be made integral with the latter, so that it-partakes of its reciprocating motion. In this case too the ramp has advantageously imparted to it a motion that is'directed obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the conveyer, this being obtainedv in sim lest mar ner by an oblique arrangement 0 the running brackets d d of the conveyer r itself,

so that the latterexecutes a reciprocating motion together with the ramp aLconnected" to it, which'motion is directed o liquely to its longitudinal axis. This arrangement may be provided also incase: the :ramp is fitted with its .own drive.

As further shown in Fig.4, the cheek r located op osite the ramp a offthe conveyer is refera ly extended upwardly.

f course the ramp does not need to ascend in every case toward the conveyer, as illustrated, but may, in the contrary, descend to-- ward the latter, according to the conditions prevailing" in the mine or-the like.

- I claim: i J

I 1. A conveying device consisting of a longitudinally reciprocable shaking conveyer and a laterally extending ramp arran edat one of the longitudinal. sides of sai con veyer and adapted to feedto it, the material to be conveyed.

2. A conveying device consisting of a longitudinally reciprocable shaking conveyer and a laterally extending ramp arrangedat one of the longitudinal sides of said conveyer andadapted to feed to it the material to be conveyed, and means for imparting to said ramp a shaking motion.

. 3. A conveying device consisting of a longitudinally reciprocable shaking conveyer and a laterally extending ramp rigidly connected to one of the longitudinal'sides of said conveyer and adapted to feed to it the material tobe conveyed. 4. A conveyi device consisting of a longitudinally reciprocable shaking conveyer and a laterally extending ramp arranged at one of the longitudinal sides of said conveyer and adapted to feed to it the material to be conveyed, and means forimparting to said ramp a shaking motion directed obliquely to the longitudinal axis of said conveyer.

5. A conveying device consisting of a longitudinally reciprocable shaking conveyer and a ramp arranged laterally of said conveyenand adapted to feed to it the material to be conveyed, running brackets on said ramp and fixed guideways therefor, said brackets and guideways being arranged obliquely to the longitudinal axis of said conveyer, and means for imparting a shaking motion to said ramp.

6. A conveying device consisting of a longitudinally reciprocable shakingronveyer and a ramp rigidly connected to and arranged laterally of said conveyer and adapted to feed to it the material to be conveyed, and means for imparting to said ramp a shaking motion directed obliquely to the longitudinal axis of said conveyer.

7. A conveying device consisting of a longitudinally reciprocable shaking conveyer and a ramp rigidly connected in) and ar- 4 ranged laterally of said conveyer and adapted to feed to it the material to be conveyed, and means for imparting to said ramp and to said conveyer a common shaking motion directed obliquely to the longitudinal axis of'said conveyer.

8. A shaking device consisting of a longitudinally reciprocable shaking conveyer and a ramp rigidly connected to and arranged laterally of said conveyer and adapted to feed to it the material to be conveyed,

running brackets on said conveyer and fixed guideways therefor, said brackets and guide- Ways being arranged obliquely to the longitudinal axis of said conveyer.

9. A conveying device consisting of a lon gitudinally reciprocable shaking conveyer having longitudinal lateral cheeks, and a ramp arranged laterally of said conveyer and adapted to feed to it the material to be conveyed, the cheek, remote from said ramp, of said conveyer extending u wardly to a higher level than the other cheei.

In testimony whereof, I have signed m name to this specification this 23rd day of September, 1927.
